SANCTUARY

MINISERIES PREMIERE: This eight-part imported Scandinavian drama stars Josefin Asplund in a dual role, as twin sisters Helena and Siri. Siri is confined, and held prisoner, in a high-security facility, and manages to work it so that Helena, unknowingly and at first unconsciously, takes her place so that Siri can go free. Sounds clever – but I can't help notice that it's the exact same plot used in a 1971 British Hammer horror movie, Twins of Evil. I knew watching that film would pay off eventually… Meanwhile, Sanctuary, a co-production by Sweden and Italy, co-stars a familiar face from America: Matthew Modine. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
